Now I have gotten to run 2400, and even 2666, but eventually my PC hard locks when gaming, even with CPU at stock clocks. I even put the XMP2.0 settings in manually and still cant it setup up right. So right now, my cpu is stock clocks and ram is 2133. Even as is, I love my ryzen setup. Still feels better then my 3930k @ 4.1 and quad channel 1886 DDR3. Just bummed I am struggling myself with having my ryzen setup not overclocked and ram stuck at 2133. One thing I have about my board, if the ram fails, it will reset settings. If a cpu overclock fails, I have to reset the bios, which I have a do a jumper switch on a 2017 motherboard, which I have to remove my GPU for.

You are not gonna F***ing believe this.
I completely missed this when I bought my board.
My ram is on the list of QVL as a 32GB kit listed, but they only used 2X8GB sticks of it to get 2933 with XMP.

My A1 and B1 slots only do 2400 with single rank. Using A2 and B2, they go up too 2667+.
I switched my ram to those slots, and enabled XMP 2.0 2933. CPUZ shows it running at 1463.2. So its actually at 2926. I can live with that. Now to get a nice little OC stable on my CPU with the stock cooler till I can get an AIO.

I have 90% of a custom loop already, but feel its 100% worthless at this point to get a block for my fury, and to do a custom loop on a 1500x.
What ever the Ryzen refresh is of the 1600x, that is what Im gonna get and Ill water cooler that. Id be tickled to death to have a 1600X refresh at least 4.2+ and my ram at 2933*.

Yeah pay extra attention to memory slot configuration and check and double-check mobo manual. A1+B1 is very different from A2+B2, it's the same for my mobo (A2+B2 for dual DIMM / high speed).

Nice you got it running!

Thank you. Thats how I figured it out, I looked at the manual, and board online on the website and it all finally just clicked. I even got it to boot at 3006 Ram speed. But it wasnt stable. I think thats my overclock on cpu. Right now settled at a simple 3617 since I am on stock cooler.
Honestly, I have never had to worry about slot configuration before. Everything has always worked as needed. Even when I had an MSI X58 board that was known to be a picky picky board with ram.

I'm glad you got it running at that speed , thhat should give you a nice performance boost

With UEFI version 3008, have abandoned my 14-14-14-28-CR1 @ 1.400v timings for the Stilt's 3466 memory preset (15-15-15-35-CR1). Able to run the ram with a setting of 1.37v and upped the cpu to a 39.25 @ 100.4 BCLK (offset +.0250). All benches return better results except for latency, slower (from 64.9 to 65.6) and Corona went to 2:00 from 1:59. aside from that, cannot tell a difference.

Under 1501, cpu @ 38.5 and 100.00 BCLK required offset of +0.03125. Got bored not tinkering with the UEFI settings. Glad I did. Next UEFI will be even better...here's to hoping.

Zen 2 may support AM4, however there will be an AM4+ socket as the rumour goes to fully support the Zen 2. Zen 2 is on a much smaller process, they will probably leverage this by improving single thread performance and adding more cores. We will probably see 10 and 12 core variants. Even AMD supports the socket that long it doesn't mean board manufacturers will fully support current boards. This is particularly true if Zen+ gets new chipsets and Zen 2 the revised socket and new chipsets.

A couple months ago I had said I got lucky with my R7 1700X, as I was achieving 3.8ghz with only 1.2V. I actually ended up having to increase voltage, as things were not 100 percent stable. I am currently at 3.8ghz with 1.25V with 100 percent stability, so I still ended up with a good chip. I am able to achieve 3.9ghz at 1.281V as well.

Finally tweaked the latest Bios for Asus CH6 , bios 3008. Great bios , boot up is way faster than the old bios i was using. No more cold boot issues. Windows and programs seems to run smoother. Performance is up in games and benchmarks using the same old settings i was using in the old bios based on the old agesa code. Only a slight performance dropped in Aida64 latency test but nothing mayor. I will keep this one until some mayor changes are done or something new comes along the way , happy !

^ If it was based off AGESA 1.0.7.2a, that version is bugged. It was hilarious, Elmor said C6H received 1071 because 1072a had a cpu ratio error (prevented the use of a custom multiplier). Then shortly Gigabyte states 1071 is too buggy so there are releasing 1072a. Shortly after release those forums start to fill up with issues regarding 1072a. ASRock similar situation regarding 1072a. Does AMD even try and help or are they just as badly in the dark.

It literally appears to have turned into: Every board is different even though they can be the same model number from the same manufacturer. Then am reminded how Intel ran into problems when first switching to DDR4.

EDIT: looks like everyone pulled the newer AGESA based UEFIs. Wonder what reasoning for it was.
